What a fun month February was; starting out with a surprise call from the Geisel Committee informing me that Elephant & Piggie's WAITING IS NOT EASY! had garnered a Geisel Honor!

Last night I received word that Elephant & Piggie's WAITING IS NOT EASY! has been bestowed a 2015 Geisel Honor by the American Library Association. While this is not my first rodeo, I can honestly say I was floored. I approach each project as a brand new experiment, building on what I've done previously, but not copying it. It is flattering in the extreme to see those efforts recognized Mohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12224051327867343365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508939844525329535.post-41051315599065097992015-01-30T11:36:00.000-05:002015-01-30T11:36:37.997-05:00FEBRUARY UPDATE!APPEARANCES/EVENTS!

One of the real fun things about my last year in Paris was being able to share sketches, gags, and photos from the trip on uclick as a comic strip called PARIS DOODLES.
In fact, it was so fun, I've decided to keep sharing drawings and ideas on uclick with a new strip called FROM THE MO WILLEMS SKETCHBOOK.
I'll be sharing drawings from my sketchbook, dining room dinner doodles, Mohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12224051327867343365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508939844525329535.post-71945386453023586552014-07-01T08:58:00.000-04:002014-07-29T08:47:25.474-04:00JULY + AUGUST UPDATE
